About the Book

Electronics: A Physical Approach  de-mystifies electronics by filling the gap between physical principles and pragmatic circuit design. The authors introduce students to the physics behind the electronics, rather than presenting various tips on circuit building. As a result, students develop an intuition about how devices actually work by building a strong conceptual foundation.
